Option 1

 * Article title
 * Self-stereotyping
 * Article Evaluation
 * All of the information is relevant to the topic and it is written neutrally. There was no extraneous information or persuasive language in the article; the article also lack grammatical errors. This article was flagged as possibly containing original research and I noticed that not all of the information on the article was cited. The lack of citations is most prominent in the description section. Though some of the information lacks citations, most of the information was cited which is good. In addition, the citations used are reliable. All of the sources used are articles published in relevant and reputable journals. This article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps and there is no mention of groups that are marginalized and or historically under or mis represented. This lack of information is one of the biggest weaknesses of this article as there is research on this topic that relates to marginalized and underrepresented groups. This article was created last year and it is relatively new; this may be a reason as to why there is nothin in the talk section.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social construction of gender


 * Article Evaluation
 * The topic that this article covers is very broad. The some of the content in the article is unrelated to other content in the article which makes it seem less cohesive. However, this may be due to the topic being broad. Also, most of the content in this article is neutrally written. However, the article has been flagged for neutrality issues to the lack of viewpoints that this article covers. This is particularly pertinent in the social change section. The social change section was flagged for not representing a worldwide view of the subject. This is true as the viewpoints described in this section are very narrow and ill described. This article also lacks citations for some of its information. Wikipedia has flagged this as well. This is another problem that is present in the social change section. A lot of the information need citations and there is an entire subsection that has none. Though there is a lack of citations, the sources that are listed are reputable. They all come from reliable and reputable journals that are relevant to the topic. In the talk section there were some discussions about merging this article with another but it isn't clear what the target article is. There is also a decent amount of disputes regarding the neutrality issues, original research, and lack of citations present in the article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Self-schema


 * Article Evaluation
 * All of the information in this section is relevant to the topic as there was no extraneous information. There were no persuasive elements either and the article is neutrally written. There is a lack of citations for a lot of the information in the article; this is especially pertinent in the sexual schema section. In addition, there is an entire section of the article that has no citations. Though the article lacks citations, the sources that are cited are reliable. All of them come from reputable journals that are related to the topic. This article does not take one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. This is a weakness of the article as there is research on this topic that is focused on groups that are marginalized and or under/misrepresented. This is particularly true of the sexual schema section as it only references men and women. There is no mention of non-binary or transgender people. In the talk section, there was a lot of discussion about how the article described gender. In addition, one user noted that the sexual schema section was absolutist in its definitions of the male and female sexual schemas.
